Speaking of shenanigans, you may remember Tea Party generalissimo Ron Ludders for his escapades during the 2011 recall of ex-state Senate President Russell Pearce, and during Pearce's ill-fated comeback attempt in the 2012 GOP primary for state Senator from Legislative District 25.

Ludders name popped up in 2012 as I was researching the "Arizona Teacher's [sic] Association," which endorsed Pearce. Ludders was not a member of the association, but he knew one of those involved in it. I talked with him then for a blog item.

Ron's email to the faithful. Chad Campbell? Hardly the left's version of Arpaio, dude.

In fact, I have to say, I've gotten along fine with Ludders heretofore. He even came up to fist-bump me after the February 16, Shadow Army meeting that videographer Dennis Gilman and I staked out.
